When a Fedora release goes final, the repositories for it change where they live. The repo definitions allow the App browser to sync information from the yum repositories. The PackageDB needs to be updated for the new areas:

Troubleshooting and Resolution

Common Actions

Adding a new Pseudo User as a package owner

Sometimes you want to have a mailing list own a package so that bugzilla email is assigned to the mailing list. Doing this requires adding a new pseudo user to the account system and assigning that person as the package maintainer.

In the following examples, replace ("xen", "kernel-xen-2.6") with the packages you are assigning to the new user and 9902 to the userid you select in step 2

If the package has existed long enough to have been added to koji, run something like the following to "retire" the old name in koji.

koji block-pkg dist-f12 OLDNAME

Removing a package

Do not remove a package if it has been built for a fedora release or if you are not also willing to remove the cvs directory.

When a package has been added due to a typo, it can be removed in one of two
ways: marking it as a mistake with the "removed" status or deleting it from the
db entirely. Marking it as removed is easier and is explained below.

Update App DB for a release going final

When a Fedora release goes final, the repositories for it change where they live. The repo definitions allow the App browser to sync information from the yum repositories. The PackageDB needs to be updated for the new areas:

Note that if you do it via pkgdb-client or the python-fedora API instead,
you'll want to only orphan the packages on non-EOL branches that exist to cut
down on the amount of email that's sent. That entails figuring out what
branches you need to do this on.
